FX10

How much longer till it comes in ?

SUPERBASH

I gotta go down there tomorrow. It may be in. Just the holiday week slowed everybody down 3 weeks.
-Do you/will you still make the "FX10 SUPERVADER" ...If I could figure out what size new motor would be riggable on one....I would like one.

FX10

Yup, the molds are at the shop now. I have a pic of one with a 70 Merc on it. It's faster, and more manuverable then the GW Invader. I still want to try to add inserts in the hull to step the chine around 2' from the transom. I think it'll give it even more speed. Next one built will go to my girls with a 25hp.
Wait, I just found the pic on scream and fly. Hope it works.

FX10

As you can see in the pic, I tricked out the bottom alittle. It's now a mild V, with a wide pad, with inverted chines. It gets more lift, and goes alot faster then a GW. Bash, with a 40hp, you'll do around 50mph. Not bad for a 10' boat. I don't know how fast it goes with the 70hp.No GPS. I do know that I do mid 50's, and he goes by me like I'm standing still.

SUPERBASH

They're sweet!...I need one that will handle 1-2's... keep up with most...not all... wave runners....& click off a 70 on demand The new motors are so heavy which makes it a problem.
-Pat ...are you interested in a stern drive set up ?

SUPERBASH

Just driving around the block from me in Amity Harbor...see an all white Invader in a guys side yard...he has two Allisons there also......not sure if its a GW or an FX.

FX10

The one on the side yard is a FX Supervader. Steve Panico owns that one, he was my partner with the molds. It's the first one made. That also had a 70hp on it. I was making that one, had the hull completed and went to my parents house in North Carolina for a week, When I came back Steve had the deck skinned with a ply of 1.5 oz. Mat. He then pulled it out of the mold unfinished, just to see how it would look on the hull. I was sooooo pissed. He had someone from Progression do the mat lay up on the deck. And the glasswork sucked. I had to put the deck BACK in the mold and finish it. There is one stress crack on the transom, but that was from Steve trying to take out the deck before it was finished. The floor followes the chine up to the bow. It is also foam filled. One TUFF little boat.
The white Allison is also for sale. I believe it's a XR2000, 21'. That boat has been seen over 120mph. He'd take $ 3,500.00 for boat and trailer I think. He also has a few motors.
Bash, where are you in the Harbor ? I grew up on Harding Rd, down by Tanner Park.
If you want to see the difference of how the Gw and FX are built, let me know. I'll take you over to Steves and you can see both of the . The grey one I have a pic of and the FX. The grey one is the plug that I used to make the molds.

Tripps,
Are you thinking of Mike Panico ? He's partners with Ritchie with R & M Truck Service. I don't have Mikes # off hand.
Bash,
Mike owns the Burgandy and white Allison on the side of the yard.
